Danielle takes up fishing

Danielle takes up fishing

The 24-year-old beauty has become a dab hand since quitting London’s celebrity scene to recover from a savage nightclub attack in May.

The former Miss England, who nearly lost a leg in the incident and needed 20 stitches, has been on weekly f shing trips with footballer boyfriend Jamie O’Hara, 22.

And she’s been having such a whale of time by the river she’s thinking of turning pro.

Dani said: “It’s funny, my dream used to be to be on the cover of Playboy but now I would like to be on the cover of a fishing magazine.

“I’d love to do a TV show about the sport, maybe get some other celebrities along and see who can catch the biggest fish.”

Dani took up her new hobby after following Jamie to the river on his day off from training with Tottenham Hotspur.

And it wasn’t long before she was catching even bigger whoppers than him.

She said: “When Jamie and I first started dating he told me he liked fishing. But the thought of putting the worms on the hooks made me feel sick. Now we go at least once a week, normally on Jamie’s day off.

“It’s really relaxing and gives you time to think. It’s time for me and Jamie to spend together with nobody else around.

It’s a far cry from her usual glamorous life as one of Britain’s top models – and while Dani admits she’s loving every minute of her new hobby, she admits she still hasn’t fully come out as a fishing nerd.

Dani said: “Jamie says I should be proud to be a fisherwoman but I think we are just a couple of geeks.”
